El Constante 299K

Nice condo! Great balcony overlooking the pool. Pool was surprisingly very nicely warmed for cooler weather. Great location to the beach. Only negative is mattress was not the best. Other than that...great stay! Would come back!

Very nice condo on the beach. The mattress on the fold out couch needs to be replaced.

299k is one of the best units imo.. its standalone, no neighbors, got the biggest balcony, and has the best view of the pool. If a beach view is not a priority, book 299k.

Overall we thought the unit was decent for the money and location. The unit itself has no neighbors because it sits above the office which is a nice perk. You can hear the people in the office in the morning but we were already up by that time. The balcony oversees the pool area. The complex is right on the beach so it made travel back and forth very easy. The unit does not have a washer/dryer but you can exchange your towels in the office. The office also has beach/pool towels available so you don’t need to bring your own to the beach and you can exchange them whenever you want. This info about the towels was not made available to us. There were few negatives that I believe most could be fixed. The king bed is very hard and uncomfortable. That was part of the reason we did not get any sleep. There is only 4 total useable pillows so I would recommend bringing your own if you require more than one. The air conditioner blows cold but the air handler is in the master closet and is very loud when it is running. The living area gets colder than the bedroom. There are blinds on all of the windows but the complex keeps the lights on all night so it feels like sunrise even at 2am. Blackout curtains would be a great addition. The pool was nice but it didn’t seem like anyone was policing the wristbands so there seemed to be a lot of people swimming that were not staying at the complex. Overall, we might stay at the complex again for a short trip because of its location.

Only complaint about this condo is that it needs updated. Trim in bathroom is in poor condition. A good overall is needed to update but we loved the location in the condo complex. Above office and right next to pool. Condo location to beach is perfect!

Thank you for your review and feedback! We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and the complex overall! We have let our maintenance team know about the trim in the bathroom so they can work to get it addressed before y'all's next stay! We look forward to hosting you again soon!

We’ve stayed in this condo before and like that it has a nice pool view. But it needs a few major fixes, especially in the shower. The mold inside the fixtures is unsightly, but that’s not the real problem. The water pressure is barely more than a trickle. I understand water conservation, but it takes 3x as long to shower. I had to go buy a tub stopper to take a bath instead. There is only one decent frying pan; the others look 20 years old. The patio furniture is so gross you don’t even want to sit in it. The condo is spacious and has comfortable carpet. But overall, I don’t consider it up to El Constante standards.

We are happy to update that the pans, patio furniture and shower pressure are in good shape! We have brought up the aged fixtures to the owner and will update again once changes are made. Thank you!

The condo was as good as advertised. It is on top of the office so the balcony over looking the pool is twice the size of the other condos. The stairs are located insides the door so that helps beat the heat a little. There is a gate next to the entrance that quickly leads to the parking lot. This was our third time at El Constante so the rest of the condo/pool experience was as good as always.

Overall, it was great. However, the condo itself needs some upkeep. The toilet seems to be unlevel at best, and sitting on a rotten floor at worst. The paint is chipping away in multiple places, and the door to the patio is very difficult to open.

Still, the location is perfect, the staff was very nice, and the code locks on all the exterior gates are a great addition.

We’ve been coming to El Constante for 20 years, and we’ll be back!

Thank you for your review and feedback Mr. Moffett! We have reported to our maintenance team for them to check on this toilet and level it appropriately! Since your stay, our team has oiled and fixed the patio door to make it much easier to open! We are so glad to have welcomed you back this year and look forward to hosting your next stay! Thank you, Padre Escapes.

The El Constante is in a prime location ON the beach. You don’t have to cross a street to get to the beach. This is great bcz I saw no bathrooms on the beach. This unit itself has pros and cons. Pros: View of the beach from bedroom! Great access to beach, pool, parking, and laundry. It was clean and nice and perfect for just 2 of us. No one is above you or below you at night. Cons: It needs a little ltc in the bathroom and Vent fan doesn’t work. (For owners: you need to replace the exhaust fan/vent bcz your paint is starting to show signs of too much moisture. It’s still fine right now though) Can hear office staff sometimes during the day bcz the office is below this unit, but it didn’t bother us. If you want to nap during the day, it might bother you. Overall, we had a great time and it was good for us. We did not use the oven or stove, so I can’t comment on that. There are steep stairs inside going up to the living area. There is a small child gate in the closet that you can use, but I’d bring my own if I had a small child. On another note, the staff was very friendly and helpful.

1 Bedroom, 1 Bath over office. Spacious and clean. Kitchen could be better stocked and stovetop takes a long time to get hot. Otherwise it was perfect!
Pool is well maintained and beach is a short walk out. Beach clean. It’s a great location and excellent for families. I told my friend about it and she’s planning a trip to Padre and wants to stay at El Constante.

Had to wait for rental to be ready. Once inside found the kitchen ceiling had a large size square plywood cover hanging down not fully attached to ceiling. Also right next to that,the a/c return vent was filthy and full of spider webs. Bad smell from kitchen also. Notified front desk in person and asked to please make repairs. Also asked for adjustment on rental price or future credit on future stay. Was asked to take pictures of complaints and send to front desk which I did. Checked out on time and I'm still waiting for a response.

Very nice Condo and convenient for our goals during our stay, which included fishing, dining, beach, relaxing, and visiting friends. The shower pressure in 299 could be much better, as well as a door matt to wipe our feet at the bottom of the stairs when entering. Friday night guest came in whom failed to adhere to the rules by the pool which included loud music and children under 12 in the hot tub. An employee on site after hours could have resolved this issue. Overall our goals were accomplished with a nice condo and an extremely professional and friendly staff. Thank you.

We do have security scheduled nightly during our summer season. We apologize they did not resolve this noise complaint and will get with them to ensure they are walking the property diligently. Thank you for the recommendations as these are great suggestions and we have since implemented.

Padre Escapes staff

The condo is wonderful. It has a huge living area, bedroom, and balcony. From the bedroom window you have a nice view of the beach and from the balcony you overlook the pool. The only complaint is since it sits above the office we were contacted a couple of times to get access to a closet that's in the stair well to enter the condo. All in all it's a great place.

We really enjoyed our stay in unit 299K. It was spacious and well kept. We liked the location as it has a great view of the pool area.

At night we noticed that there is a door under the bedroom/bathroom that was constantly banging closed. Not sure who was going in and out at all hours of the night.


The only thing that needs improvement is the kitchen. It needs a few more items to make it complete: more butter knives (there is only one) cookie sheet, pizza cutter, more ice cube trays, more cutting knives, and pot holders.

Overall, we loved our stay and would definitely stay at El Constante again.

Nice property. Walking proximity to beach. Property undergoing what appeared to be exterior upgrades. My unit needed some upgrades to kitchen especially ceiling, a/c vents, and sink. Overall, the unit was clean, bed was comfortable, fresh linens provided and a fully stocked kitchen. I would definitely revisit this property. Front office was pleasant and responsive.

From check in to check out the front desk clerk was all smiles and absolutely amazing. She made us feel very welcomed and I LOVED that. It felt like we were going to our friends and families houses if I had to describe it. Once we got inside the little condo was so perfect/clean/COMFORTABLE. Everything I could of asked for plus more.

We enjoyed staying on the beach and having such easy access! The keyless entry was nice to have so you didn’t have to mess with a key. We were above the office and would hear people talking a lot. The unit definitely needed to be updated. There were things that were not sturdy and rusty in bathroom, door mechanism on porch door was simply broken and hanging when we arrived. Appliances in kitchen needed updating. A huge bulge in ceiling that we thought would bust at any moment. Lots of paint touch ups. It just needs a little TLC. We would stay again just simply of location. It fit our family of 4 well! Liked the open space.

The balcony was amazing. The El Constante property is our favorite place to stay due to the location and amenities. However, we stayed before and did not have an issue with another condo. This condo looked like it had not been cleaned in a while or not thoroughly cleaned. I was glad I brought cleaner.

Anonymous from San Antonio - Posted: 7/6/2020

The online description was accurate, the photos showed exactly what the unit looks like, and the unit was clean and well maintained. I would definitely stay there again! Only a few minor issues: 1) the shower head needs to be replaced, as the shower was almost unusable. 2) the lack of laundry facilities onsite was EXTREMELY disappointing, as we packed with the expectation of being able to do laundry at the location. 3) the cleaning staff needs to clean the inside of the toilet bowl under the rim, it was disgusting.

We had a great stay! The location was perfect! The unit is great because there is no one above or below us and the large private balcony overlooking the pool was awesome. We were a family of 4 and only got 2 bath towels but I’m sure if I would have asked for more we would have been given some with no problems because the staff was great and very accommodating!

Not a pleasant experience. Since the room is right above the office we had to take extra care not to make too much noise & with children is hard to do. Office called when kids were running & I felt at that point that our stay was unwelcome. On our 2nd day office requested to view their camera system which was located in our room. Did not like how camera system was in our room or the fact that the room was right above the office. This 4 night stay was definitely not worth $788.
